MIE AYAM JAMUR | MUSHROOM CHICKEN NOODLE

This dish is my Saturday brunch meal in Jakarta! When I get to sleep in and wake up late, I'll ask Mam if I can go and buy some Mie Ayam. There's this street food stall about 50 feet from my house that I've been going to since I was about 10. I've been living in Holland for the past 8 years and it's always nice when I come home for a holiday and visit their food stall, they would greet me with a big smile and a "Hey! You're back!"
